Chapter 237
The fourth house was a small apartment with a bedroom and a living room . It was about 50 square meters large . The floor and the coffee table in the living room were covered with a thin layer of dust . It was obvious that it had been vacant for a while . After looking around the living room, Lin Huang headed to the bedroom .
The bedroom was simple with a bed and a cabinet behind the bed . Across the bed was a walk-in wardrobe with a one-meter wide space in the middle . There were neither bedsheets nor blankets on the bed; it was just an empty wooden bed frame with a mattress that was 20 meters thick . Besides an empty facial cream container, there was only dust on the cabinet with three drawers behind the bed .
There was half a packet of tissue paper and an opened packet of half-eaten candy in the drawer . After packing both of the items for analysis, Lin Huang proceeded to open the second and third drawers but realized that they were both empty . Under the bed was a thick layer of dust . After looking around and confirming that he did not miss anything, Lin Huang turned around and headed for the wardrobe .
It was a big wardrobe with sliding doors . He opened the left side of the wardrobe, which was empty, save a couple of hangers . However, Lin Huang smirked as there was an unmistakable clue in the wardrobe . As he opened the wardrobe, a perfume scent wafted out of it . The scent was different from the facial cream that he had smelt earlier . Neither was it any scent nor detergent; it was definitely perfume .
Lin Huang recalled a female colleague back on Earth . The colleague did not like the detergent scent on her clothes, so she would do something luxurious after she hung her clothes in the wardrobe . She would spritz perfume into the wardrobe . The perfume that she used was not cheap . A small bottle costs a couple thousand of dollars . Because of that, she would spend more than $10,000 per year on perfume alone . Whenever he visited her house, he could smell perfume, which came from the wardrobe, as he stepped into her room .
Clearly, the Brain Eater had the same habit which might have been inherited from the host . The perfume in this world cost even more than on Earth, so the host of this Brain Eater was clearly a silver level or even higher . To a silver or gold level person, spending 100 million credit points on perfume alone per year was nothing . Lin Huang shook his head to clear his mind from the fog of perfume . After looking around in the room, he did not find anything else .
He walked out of the area after transforming himself back . It was past 12 noon . He was not sure if Yang Ling was still sleeping or some other reason because he had yet to reply Lin Huang’s messages . He then found a random restaurant and had a bowl of ramen . After lunch, he summoned the Viridian Wolf and headed to the Union Government . As he arrived, Liang Yin was having lunch in her office .
Lin Huang knocked on her door and asked, "What're you eating?"
"Intestine cup rice!" Liang Yin looked at Lin Huang .
"Why are you here again?"
"I brought clues this time . " Lin Huang took out the items that he had obtained from the Brain Eater’s house .
"What's this?" Liang Yin blabbered while eating .
"I found the last house that the Brain Eater was staying at and these are the items that she left behind before she moved away . Please see if you could retrieve anything such as fingerprints . " Lin Huang dangled the plastic bags in front of her .
"Put them on my desk, I’ll do it for you after I am done eating," Liang Yin said with her mouth full .
Lin Huang placed the three plastic bags on her desk and sat on the chair behind while waiting for her to finish her lunch .
About five to six minutes later, Liang Yin finished her food and wiped her mouth with tissue paper, then she walked to the test station with the three plastic bags .
"How did you find the Brain Eater’s house?" Liang Yin chatted with Lin Huang while testing the items .
Lin Huang smiled as he explained, "As I was investigating their similarities, I found out that they were using the same app on their Emperor’s Heart Ring to talk to the culprit . I got a friend to find the coordinates of the account user . "
"You have such a friend?" Liang Yin looked at Lin Huang in wonder .
"Then, could you ask your friend to get me Sword Genius’s identity and contact details?!"
"No, that would be violating the privacy of others," Lin Huang rejected without even thinking .
"Aren’t you violating the privacy of others right now?" Liang Yin argued, clearly upset .
"I’m doing it for the case, there’s nothing else that I can do . Moreover, I’m investigating a Brain Eater . She’s a monster that is not eligible for the primary of a Union Government citizen .
"Hmph, I give up then!" Liang Yin did not speak anymore .
Around 10 minutes later, Liang Yin started eating the candy that Lin Huang had brought from the Brain Eater’s house .
"Hey, that’s evidence…" Lin Huang was speechless by her behavior . "Moreover, have you considered if that’s even edible?"
"It is, I have checked . It’s just a piece of normal candy," Liang Yin said while shaking the packet of candy at Lin Huang .
Lin Huang rejected her ‘kind’ offer, "I don’t want any, you can have it . "
"When will I get the results of the test?" Seeing her relaxed, Lin Huang could not help but ask .
"It’s out," Liang Yin declared while shaking a semi-transparent film the size of her palm in front of Lin Huang . There was a clear, black fingerprint on it .
Lin Huang got closer and took the film .
"I’m not responsible for the matching of fingerprints, so you will have to go to the information department," Liang Yin said .
"If she’s a Luoxi City’s resident, it will take less than 30 minutes to find out her identity . If she’s a foreigner, it will take longer, perhaps two to three days," Liang Yin added .
"I understand, thanks!" Lin Huang took the film and left .
Instead of heading to the information department, Lin Huang took a picture of the film and sent it to Yang Ling . After the image was sent, he called Yang Ling, who picked up almost instantly .
"What did you send me?" Yang Ling seemed like he had just woken up . He was wearing a red sleeping robe . He was puzzled by what Lin Huang sent him .
"Did you get the stuff that I asked for this morning?" Lin Huang asked .
"I overslept, I just saw your messages half an hour ago . I’m still on it, I need a while . " Yang Ling admitted, embarrassed .
"Alright then, help me check whose fingerprint does this belong to . I have just gotten this from the forensic department . If I’m not mistaken, this fingerprint belongs to the host of the Brain Eater," Lin Huang explained .
"Sure, I will do the identification . I will start with Luoxi City . If the person is a resident there, I will get the result soon . " Yang Ling nodded and hung up as he had work to do .
As Lin Huang walked out of the Union Government, he received a message from Yang Ling .
"It’s a lady’s fingerprint . "
Lin Huang was excited as he opened the attachment…
